    Just got a new Aspire One, and I love it; but I have a question. How does the wifi switch physically act? Is it supposed to be a two position switch? Mine acts more like a momentary switch. I can slide it to the right, but it springs back to the left. And the switch itself is kind of loose, wobbly. Is that normal?

    Thanks.

    The switch itself is a dual-throw momentary switch (center off).

    IIRC, 3G models have an external slider that allows left and right throws, WiFi-only models have a different slider moulding that only allows right throws.

    The loose, wobbly aspect is quite normal. All the AA1s that I have encountered are like this.
